European stocks may drift lower on Wednesday as market participants assess the outcome of U.S.-China trade negotiations. <\/p>\n

Following two days of high-level talks in London, top U.S. and Chinese officials agreed on a “framework” to move forward on trade, which first need to be approved by leaders in Washington and Beijing.<\/p>\n

The framework reportedly targets lifting China’s restrictions on rare earth mineral exports in exchange for the U.S. easing certain export curbs, especially on semiconductors.<\/p>\n

In another development, a federal court said that U.S. President Donald Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs can remain in effect while the legal battle over them rages.<\/p>\n

The appeals court also said it is speeding the matter to the full court, skipping over the usual three-judge panel approach that predominates in federal appeals-court action.<\/p>\n

Asian markets<\/span> traded higher on optimism over progress in trade talks. Oil prices were little changed in Asian trade. <\/p>\n

Gold ticked higher on dollar weakness ahead of the release of highly anticipated May’s U.S. consumer inflation report later in the day. <\/p>\n

Economists expect the headline CPI to have grown 2.4 percent from a year earlier. A hot report may fuel inflationary concerns and dent Fed rate cut hopes.<\/p>\n

U.S. stocks eked out modest gains overnight after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the U.S.-China trade negotiations went really, really well.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 climbed 0.6 percent to end higher for a third day running while the Dow added 0.3 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.6 percent.<\/p>\n

European stocks ended mixed on Tuesday as investors monitored updates from Sino-U.S. talks.<\/p>\n

The pan European STOXX 600 finished marginally lower. The German DAX fell 0.8 percent while France’s CAC 40 and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 both gained around 0.2 percent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
